Jumaring
Jumar is equipment which moves only upwards. With the help of it you can climb rock even which has no holds; it’s called artificial climbing also. 
Star Gazing
The high altitude location and that is on a top of the ridge, zero pollution and minimal lights offers the perfect opportunity to gaze at the stars and brood over their immense mysteries. To help you there is telescope, binoculars & the star gazing book that has lots of star charts with marked constellations for your perusal.
